After a 19-year delay, restoration of the William
Jennings Bryan museum was continued this summer. It
was the first restoration work since 1962.
The museum, which will be. open to the public seven
days a week, has slowly been progressing towards com
plete restoration, museum curator Gale Potter said.
Through financing by the State Historical Society and
through private donations, a bedroom and a sitting room
were restored this summer. The basement of the building
now is being used as a child care center for Bryan Memor
ial Hospital employees. Prior to that change, it was
equipped with a kitchen and dining room.
TTie museum is located in Fairview, the William
Jennings Bryan home at 49th and Sumner streets.
The statue of Bryan that stands outside the museum
has been the subject of recent controversy as to whether it
should instead be located at the state Capitol. Rod Arm
strong, legislative aide to Sen. Steve Fowler of Lincoln
who proposed relocating the statue, explained that there
are a couple of problems to deal with before a decision
can be made, including who the statue's rightful owner is.
In 1941, the Legislature passed a resolution stating that
Bryan, a former presidential candidate, should be honored
with a statue. Thus a commission was formed to arrange
donations.
But when the statue was placed at the north entrance
of the Capitol, a group of Republicans convinced the
governor that it showed prejudice to display Bryan, a
Democrat, on the most prominent side of the Capitol,
when the statue of Abraham Lincoln, a Republican, was
on the west side.
Architects also complained that the statue detracted
from the Capitol's architectural value.
Bryan Memorial Hospital then had the statue moved to
Fairview, but the state hasn't taken title to the statue and
the commission that arranged its financing never transfer
red the title to the state.
A legislative hearing is scheduled for Oct. 30 to discuss
the feasibility of moving the statue and its true ownership.
Marvin Kivett, director of the State Historical Society,
agrees that the statue could detract from the architectural
value of the state Capitol if it is placed at the north
entrance.
